What recommendations do you have to work with the water issues I am having?

Would adding any plants either directly to the tank or some vegies etc. in a grow bed help at all?

Please let me know.




Did your nitrites appear, go up, and then go back to zero? Or are you still waiting for them to go up along with the nitrates? Plants will help but you need to get your biofilter completely cycled so any ammonia produced is quickly oxidized.

Are your fish still alive at 8 ppm Ammonia or did you switch to fishless cycling?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
